| X4027. HS {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} To E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} from Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Overheating of Engine Oil. Peregrine(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine). Copy to Won.Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} NY.RM. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Referring to Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 1/KT.13.3.33 I understand that nothing has been heard from R. {Sir Henry Royce} in regard to this matter, doubtless due to his indisposition, i.e. he has not made any suggestions for overcoming the trouble. Doubtless you are tackling this matter and I should be glad to know along what lines it is proposed to make further tests. Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
